How to apply them

Lead with the purpose: “Please approve the revised budget by Friday.”

Replace vague wording with specifics: “by 5 p.m. Friday, November 13” rather than “soon.”

Support claims with a source, data, or a verifiable example when the decision matters.

Keep one main idea per sentence or paragraph, and use headings or transitions to make the structure obvious.

Close with the required action, deadline, owner, and any missing information.
